I dont understand people's want for a qwerty keyboard. Have you slid open your N900's?!
A T9 input method would be perfect similar to that on 5th edition phones like the 5800.
Thanks for all your hard work.
And yes, I have opened my keyboard. I though, for one, can't write with keyboard open in portrait-position. I also prefer using the device with one hand only (one holding, one typing) and that usually ends up in portrait, not in landscape. Landscape is good, but even when I'm browsing the net, I'm using Opera Mobile with portrait.
Just my opinion though.

When it crashses it means its switched them. Make sure you are pressing the correct app?
Not tyring to sound lyk im underminding ur ability or anything just tryng to figure out everything to see if I can help ya out
Xterm opens soo quickly on mine i barely see it open. Just ends up in the multitasking viewer if I have apps open when i execute the command..

It's helpful unless you're running X-Term with the intent to do something else. But that's neither here nor there.
But do you know why it does this? I would love a technical explanation for what happens at the deeper software level that causes X-Term to crash after the second time running the commands? Do you think it was caused by running both switches in a row in one X-Term session? Or is it something that was initially caused by switching to the new keyboard, and the both-in-one-section thing had nothing to do with it?
Just a thought

I prefer a hard keyboard, I always make typos with soft keyboards. But why not have both T9 and Qwerty?

For those of us unused to phone-typing large quantities of text, even T9 is awkward -- I don't care if it's qwerty specifically, but one button, one character for at least alpha (and preferably numeric and common punctuation) is the way my brain is trained. Why would I want to retrain with T9 for a virtual keyboard, where I don't even get the benefit of touch-typing? (Yes, I do have a certain admiration for those who can pound out SMSes with one hand while barely glancing at the phone, even though I can't myself.)
And I'll admit, silly as it is, I also like stealing all the features from competing platforms for showing off.

TBH T9 has saved me soo much time when im in situations where i need to send a text quickly and only have one hand free.
eg. when im on the train and am holding onto the railings or even walking down the street. I can almost text without even focusing on the screen meaning i dont bump into people
